A brief change from the norm: some portrait photography
I didn’t have time to finish yesterday’s story of hellish automobile disaster, so instead you get some pretty photos to look at.
This is just to prove that I am capable of portrait photography and not just pretty landscapes! (And if you haven’t bought one of my Faroese photo prints yet, why not?)
First up, one in colour:
And now a close-up of his eye, because you can see me and the reflection of his arm, which is pretty neat:
And finally, two black and whites of a kid that’s waaaay too photogenic:
Can you make out ‘Ray Ban’ on his glasses? Damn poser.
But the t-shirt makes up for it:

The eye close up is amazing Seb!

And of course you are capable!. Portfolio, yes *winks*. x
August 7th, 2009 at 4:29 pmWhat’s wrong with the Ra yBans? Everyone needs some good cop glasses!
August 7th, 2009 at 4:41 pmSince you’re capable of this, you should help me take a lot of pictures…of myself, of course. What do you think? Nothing too sexy, unless you want it. Haha.
August 7th, 2009 at 5:01 pmThe eye, especially because you caught the reflection, is awesome. Love it. And I totally love that kid’s tee shirt.
August 7th, 2009 at 5:33 pmthat child one is all kinds of adorable,
August 7th, 2009 at 5:39 pmI want that kid’s shirt. Bad.
August 7th, 2009 at 7:08 pmThe black and white portrait second from the bottom is absolutely stunning!! I think you might just be THE photographer who can get my Axminster-residing friend over her dislike of having her photo taken. I would love to see some portraits of her she is such a beautiful subject even if she will never ever believe me. Great work MrS!!
August 7th, 2009 at 9:41 pmI’m so glad you like them! I wasn’t sure if I still had it… it really has been a long time since I did people-photography.
The great (or bad?) thing about landscapes is you don’t have to get to know the subject first. Well, you do a little, but to get a truly great photo of a person they must be your friend — or at least comfortable.
Sometimes that takes days, weeks, months…!
I’m good at building rapport I guess…
